STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Two males were shot on a Port Richmond street Friday afternoon, and the shooter remains at large, police said.

The incident was reported on Ann Street, at Port Richmond Avenue, at approximately 2 p.m.

The two victims showed up separately at the emergency room at Richmond University Medical Center, West Brighton, according to emergency radio transmissions. Hospital officials would not confirm or deny that account.

Police descended on the community, and roped off Ann Street as they began their investigation.

A worker at Tulcingo Travel, on the corner of Port Richmond Avenue and Ann Street, said he heard gunshots and saw two people running down the street.

A worker at another store in the area said it appeared one male had been shot in the back.

A law-enforcement source said the wounds did not appear to be life-threatening.

There have been no arrests at this time, according to an NYPD spokesman.

This incident comes as the city confronts a wave of gun violence that prompted Mayor de Blasio to meet with NYPD brass.

On Thursday, the mayor attended his first CompStat meeting, which is a periodic briefing on crime statistics conducted by top police officials.

De Blasio's spokesman told the Wall Street Journal that the mayor planned to attend one of the meetings since he took office Jan. 1 and that the timing was a result of workable scheduling.

But analysts said de Blasio's appearance also sent a deliberate message: That he is engaged and is taking trends in public safety seriously, according to the report.

The city has seen reductions in most major crime categories so far this year. But shootings are at their highest levels since 2012, according to New York Police Department data.

From Jan. 1 to Aug. 10, there have been 702 shooting incidents, compared with 621 for the same period last year — a 13% increase.
